A reminder that your ballot should be in the mail. Please vote! If you told yourself now’s the time to get more involved in local politics to make up for frustrations with national politics, here’s your first chance.
May I also make a personal appeal to vote for YES and PROP 1A on Question 1 to fully fund the social housing developer you voted into existence in 2023. They’re working to create municipally-owned social housing buildings across Seattle with rents capped at 30% of YOUR income. Not AMI! In Perpetuity! Without a greedy profit motive!
Even if you don’t end up living in a social housing building, these kinds of projects put downward pressure on all rents in town, so they end up benefitting everyone.
Be aware that the Harrell-offered Prop 1B raids existing funds that are earmarked for other kinds of housing and does nothing to increase the total amount of housing in our severely constrained market
